Anytime Fitness — Local services in Bartow

I started my membership last year. The gym itself is okay but I am writing about the poor customer service. They NEVER answer the phone but will swiftly contact you if something goes wrong with your payment on your account. I moved out of state recently. I have called numerous times to speak with someone about canceling. I have left countless voicemails and even emailed. I eventually get a text from Jennifer weeks later (she didn’t even call) saying they would cancel my account if I could show proof of the move. I finally have the proof and reached back out - absolute silence. I have called and text still being blatantly ignored. Meanwhile they attempt daily to withdraw money from my account.

At least they have child care and a much more robust facility at half the cost. I’m not much of a review guy but that is just wild to me. I...

I understand that all these gyms are independently owned, but this specific gym is outrageous with there sign up fee's. Maybe they do it because there the only gym really in Bartow, but the cheapest price to sign up is $106.00 and it doesn't even include your first month of membership, you still have to pay that two week after paying the $106.00. Believe it or not, but that's their cheapest rate and doesn't include anything except access to the gym (what a rip off). I really wanted to join this gym because it was close to my home but guess i will be driving to the next town over. Arbundale anytime fitness is offering a low sign-up rate of...
